- CHS update: A bill that was submitted by assemblyman Avi Schnall that Expands eligibility requirements of State's child care assistance program to include full-time graduate and post-graduate students, passed in the assembly 75-0 On Oct 28. The Office of Legislative Services (OLS) concludes that the bill’s provisions would result in an indeterminate increase to State expenditures due to growth in the number of families who would qualify for benefits under the child care assistance program. In FY 2025, the estimated average annual cost per child under the program is approximately $11,576.
The OLS estimates that there are 12,827 full-time graduate and post-graduate students who are raising children in the State. Of these students, it is unknown how many would be otherwise eligible for child care assistance benefits and would also be in need of child care. For reference, assuming 13 percent of all full-time graduate and post-graduate students in theState with children, or 1,667, would be otherwise eligible for the child care assistance program, would elect to apply for benefits, and had, on average, 1.5 children with child care needs, the cost under the bill would be approximately $29 million. As the child care assistance program receives federal support in the form of block grants, this estimate assumes that the increase in costs under the bill would be incurred solely by the State.

Agudah convention 2024 program schedule 
As to lsta mandated to provide bussing today they do it's not the lsta who aren't it's the bus companies with the schools who decided many years ago long before lsta was created that as a courtesy for non jewish bus drivers to give them the day off
ReplyDeleteForget what's in your contract.
DeleteWorkers will not come in to work on Thanksgiving (or first day Chanukah this year) no matter how much you pay them. Even double pay.
Have to hire yidden drivers. Double pay to begin with, unreliable, and have to keep them on even if incompetent.
Your mass Lashon Hara is disgusting.
DeleteIn my experience, unzere bus drivers are far more responsible. In our world, a bus driver can be a talmid chacham and a choshuve Yid. In their world, only losers become bus drivers.
Yidden, unreliable?
DeleteKORNY?
There is a contract not being kept and you're saying these non yidden wouldn't work even for double pay ? Who's not reliable.
Either way any thing more than reliability is definitely missing......
Nobody here interested in kinus shluchem

DeleteAgudah Convention, PLEASE give me a break!
ReplyDeleteIf you aren't interested in the Agudah Convention you are free to ignore it like any other ads. But maybe you should could attend. Could be they will address those who get so worked up over such things.

ReplyDeleteKRM can't come fast enough
ReplyDeleteThe prices in the heimishe stores are insane especially produce items which can be 2-3 dollars cheaper in other stores
Stop Complaining: I love the Lakewood traffic!
ReplyDeleteI know that’s not what you were expecting to hear, but let me explain why.
I believe the traffic is actually a symbol of a healthy community and economy.
When so many people are going about their day, there’s more opportunity to connect, do business, and grow.
Yes, it might be hard to get around, but it’s a sign of something great! Especially for the connected Vaad Members!!
Keep voting blindly!!!!
You forgot one point ...

ReplyDeleteReb Ahron held that Lubavitcher wine had a din of yayin nesach
ReplyDeleteDo you have a source for this sheker??
DeleteLubavitch doesn't make or sell wine.
DeleteKedem makes, warehouses, and sells it ànd pays them some sort of royalty (%age).
A MK from Degel Hatorah party said the solution will only be for those learning full time, other charedi boys will not get any defferment under the law.
ReplyDeleteThat was always the case, since the Medinah was established. There was never an exemption for Charedim, only full-time learners.
So I guess life is great!
DeleteBut it is shmad and these shvache boys will be drafted and taken off the derech. Why is that not the responsibility of the rosh yeshivas of frum knesset members
DeleteWe are shmadding up yiddisher neshamos and than in the same breath screaming about how important it is to give money to save neshamos with chinuch atzmoi shuvu lev lachim
So you know better than the Chazon Ish, Reb Aaron Kotler, Tchebiner Rav, Reb Chaim Schmuelevitz, Rav Shach, Rav Shteinman, and Reb Dov.
DeleteNice.
Those who would push for a total exemption for all Charedim show that they don't appreciate the importance of the Lomdei Torah, and how much we need to expend to ensure they can do so. They would risk the entire Olam Hayeshivos for the sake of those who would go off the derech in the army. Gedolei Yisroel think differently. Help those who would go off, assist them not to go to the army, but our main focus is the Lomdei Torah.
Self-centeredness in pretense
DeleteFor the record when it came to giyus banos some of them held we have a bigger obligation to make sure the almost frei girls aren't drafted ! than to protect our own daughters !!
Right, the hierarchy is - 1. Girls not going to the army, 2. Yeshiva bochurim staying in Yeshiva, 3. All religious Yidden's exemption from an Army that is run in this way, pushing them to shmad.
DeleteSomeone who confuses this list, is going against virtually all Gedolei Yisroel since the State was established. Rav Abramsky, Reb Ovadya Yosef, and many more than were mentioned at 4:09
I guess the Agudah in US is Rebbe less
ReplyDeleteBekitzer NJ will have to pay at least another 30 million for child care that means more taxes on those who are not eligible for chs and paying more for babysitting
ReplyDeleteCheaper to just send everybody a check for $11,000.00
DeleteWhat’s happening now with CHS programs shows how vouchers will likely be implemented if they are ever approved. The true beneficiaries of government-funded initiatives are rarely the parents. Instead, schools will impose surcharges and additional fees, wiping out any potential savings these vouchers aim to provide. This lack of accountability is why vouchers have little widespread support. Such programs are frequently abused to benefit business and school owners, as we’ve already seen with security grants, lunch programs, and other similar initiatives.
Deleteis it possible that special interests reached out to assemblyman schnall to propose and push thru this bill?
ReplyDeletewas The bill passed in the Senate
DeleteFYI most of the Kedem wines from Italy are under the hechsher of s local Lubavitcher. The true frume BMG Yungerlite should NOT buy it
ReplyDeleteYou need help ASAP. is there one Lakewood posek who holds anything like you?? Such Hate you have
DeleteTrue Frum yungerleit already do not buy it. I know some that haven touched an Italian wine in over 10 years.
DeleteChazon Ish is great enough for you?
Delete3:11,
DeleteDear Johnny Harry-come-lately,
Many distinguished families uphold just such a same policy.They put the onus on everybody else!
While by contrast those who have kashrus positions unfortunately try to remain PC
I too haven't used the aforementioned wines for many years. It is a much more widespread hanhaga than anon 3:11 seems to realize. having a lubavitcher on the hashgacha is like having the fox watch the henhouse
DeleteGlad some people take in their own minds these supposiued chumrahs or even din. It would help if they ask a LOR and get hadracha on these topics. Show one place that says anything about this...You need help with your hate.
DeleteDo you even know how many lubavicher shluchim work for many different hashgachos including heimish ones ou ok kof k etc talking from someone in the industry
Deleteold hock.You don't need to assume for OU etc until you're informed
DeleteThe OK on the other hand
Could someone explain to me why taxpayers dollars should be spent on childcare for those wanting to attend college? Asking for a friend.
ReplyDeleteCould someone explain to me why taxpayers dollars should be spent paying tuition for those wanting to attend college. Answer that and it will answer your question as well.
DeleteA lot better than our tax dollars going to research squirrels or any green new deal item. These people charge as much tax as they can squeeze out of us & then spend it on nonsense. Taxes wont go up a dollar for this, just being spent on something that actually benefits our community. (even if not you personally) Just think of how many people are employed from the industry. How many can now afford to work. How it affects real estate, design, furniture, toys, lunches etc. in additon to teachers.
DeleteIts fine if Lakewood actually gets something for blindly voting these idiots in.
There is a national, communal benefit in having a highly educated citizenry. The state has an interest in people who are educated, so they should pay for it.
DeletePutting BMG aside, the US would probably be a lot better off with fewer graduate and post graduate students.
Deletedid the senate take up the bill for a vote
ReplyDeleteGiyus 🆙 date, indeed so.

DUMB CHAREDIM: No Judicial Reform Without Draft Law
ReplyDeleteHow dumb can someone possibly be? They are in this pickle because of the Judiciary!
The leaders of the United Torah Judaism (UTJ) Charedi parties have suggested they will oppose PM Netanyahu’s judicial reform unless a draft law is passed.
The respective heads of the Knesset’s Ashkenazic-Charedi parties, Degel Hatorah and Agudat Yisrael, both expressed opposition to Justice Minister Yariv Levin’s call to progress on judicial reform, in an apparent attempt to use it as leverage regarding the ongoing Charedi draft dispute, according to Kan Reshet Bet.
On Tuesday, MK Moshe Gafni, who heads the Degel Hatorah party, said that his party “has paid the price” for advancing the judicial reform, warning, “We will block it from moving forward. This time, it won’t happen.”
Construction and Housing Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf, who heads Agudat Yisrael, also expressed opposition, saying: “We will not pass the reform before the Draft Law. If it is possible to pass the reform during a war – it is also possible to [pass] the Draft Law.”
The reform was put on hold after the October 7 massacre as Israel shifted its focus on the Gaza war.
Levin has pushed for moving forward with judicial reform, after the hurling of flares towards the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in Caesarea, followed by government inaction.
“It’s time that we gave full support in order to rehabilitate the judiciary and the law enforcement system, and in order to put an end to anarchy, recklessness, refusal, and attempts to harm the Prime Minister,” he said.
He said that the flares are “another link in a chain of violent and anarchist actions, whose purpose is to bring about the murder of the Prime Minister and bring down the elected government through a violent revolution.”
